Athena Christian Church

We made it to Seattle! Our team arrived yesterday, settled in at Ballard Church (our host church for the week!), and enjoyed a Seattle classic: 206 Burgers. We're so excited to be here and to serve the community this week!

At Ballard Church this morning, we got to be part of preparing for a special celebration: baptisms! Eight people from the church have expressed a desire to be baptized. Praise God! They will soon participate in a workshop that walks them through what baptism means. Our crew got to paint the hallway of the space where this workshop will be held to make it feel ready and inviting!

This morning we went back to New Horizons to serve breakfast again! Those from our team who didn't go yesterday got to experience it today and whipped up some delicious french toast and fruit salad for the guests to enjoy! We also got to take a tour of the building and learn all about this incredible ministry.

Here's our smiling serving crew!

One of the projects this week while we work with Coastline Church is to help deep clean their industrial kitchen in the church. Deep cleaning is no joke at all! 

For our third morning at New Horizons, we whipped up another delicious spread. It was so fun to see familiar faces from Monday's breakfast and to continue building connections with the staff who work so tirelessly in this ministry. We also had the opportunity to pray together over the meal and those who would enjoy it, which was a special way to start our morning of serving.

Just look at these beautiful smiles!

The sun was shining this morning as we wrapped up our week of serving! We got to do a little more painting and cleanup at Ballard Church to bless them as they continue blessing this community.

Nathan, Charlie, and Helen did a great job rolling on the paint!

It's hard to believe it, but our week in Seattle has come to an end. We are headed home now but taking lots of memories and stories with us! We can't wait to share all about what God did this week and to continue serving!
